RPA careers are for robots!

Building a career in RPA? Nothing wrong with that, that's what I did, 35 years ago in UI automation of all-kinds. But I have noticed recently that a larger and larger number of people have been betting their careers and training on just one or two "hot" technologies. Having the same few skills, even in hot-markets, that everyone else has weakens that persons competitiveness and risks stalling their own careers too early.

But it's not too late. The smart individuals I have seen and worked with over all these years, that became the most successful long term, doing what they love, we're the ones that did not stop learning. They are the ones that always went above and beyond to garner new skills which made them highly competitive and sought after. So, this post, is hopefully not too biased to my company and I do hope, it might impact perhaps a few of you, who might be thinking, how do I stop myself becoming a robot, like everyone else!

By not continually learning it is pretty clear that you are leaving large swathes of your near-term and future career opportunities on the table. Go beyond learning one-or two things just because they are hot.

Can you risk that in todays fast evolving transformational world? Newer and greater intelligent automation technologies are evolving faster than ever so do you have what it takes to keep up and learn at this pace? Do you want to learn the right skills that make you more valuable in this ever rapidly changing market? Make you different? Do you want to open up your future to bigger and better things?
